This was a call for concept submissions from LG for a new and innovative appliance design experiment.
Our design team was part of a call for entries for a new design approach experiment from LG.
It is known that once a consumer is planning to equip his/her kitchen with new appliances, they try to have uniformity with all appliances so they look and feel the same.
In the kitchen, the refrigerator is the most used appliance by all members of the family, and it is in the center of the kitchen. We believe that we can/should give the refrigerator much more attention, stop hiding it behind wood panels, and blend it to be as flat as possible so no one will notice it. In fact, we would like to turn the refrigerator to a centerpiece with aesthetic appeal to be proud of.
We propose the spine design style. The spine design utilizes a large center protrusion from the front of the doors, accentuating this appliance as a central piece that adds beauty and grace to the kitchen. In our proposed design, the center spine width is almost a third of the overall width of the refrigerator. The spine has a nice, slightly beveled center surface that will reflect light in both directions and create a unique, high-tech, clean design effect. The center spine will have the handles embedded on the sides.
In other kitchen appliances, we can use the same center spin design, and we can possibly use the center spin for buttons, knobs, and control panels.
